All around the world, companies such as Visa and Mastercard, are discussing changing the visual look of their plastic credit card with one that will have lights and buttons on it so that customers can choose between debit or credit card while paying. The new cards, which are to be tested next month, will replace the 1950’s technology of the black magnetic strip at the back of the card. Much of the world as moved on the advanced credit cards already, such as the ones in Europe that require a pin and a chip.

Most Banks are introducing their own kind of credit cards, which will be tested for the best one. The citi’s cards, known as 2G for second generation, are just like the contemporary cards with that extra battery that contains a four year life, a chip and of course the buttons which took over a year and a half to make costing millions of dollars.

However, the first cards will go to the bigger spenders. Once they are successful they will be available for all. The card will be one of the biggest discoveries of this century. As the world is changing quickly, the contemporary cards are not guests for long.
